Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: See her weeping in the night Watch him as he strikes a light See the ones who hide away Too scared to face another day Now lift the veil that makes you blind Open eyes to your own kind Look beyond the outward smiles See their lives: it's worth your while There is pain here, at their core Still their wounds are always sore Alone, they'll never let it be Alone, they'll not again be free Will you help them heal again? Will you admit you see their pain? Help them see light: be one who gives Lend them love to let them live. A clear message here, well-expressed. I'm not 100% sure about those short lines though. Such a format is in danger of trivialising the serious and worthwhile content. Inspiring. Stop your moaping and help those who are truly less fortunate than yourself! This is a well-constructed poem with great rhyming and rhythm, an inspiring message and bittersweet theme. I think it's wonderful the way it is. Thank you.
